There are no reports about any victims or damages caused by the earthquake.
Greece is located in a seismically active zone, which lies in a boundary area between three tectonic plates: Eurasian, African and Aegean ones. Earthquakes in the region are caused by the Aegean Sea Plate's movement southwestward and the African Plate's subduction beneath the Aegean Sea Plate.
